We want to share the amazing time we had at one of our annual events. Leadership is an event for the Top Compassionate Entrepreneurs (CE). Over 100 women gathered together for this event! Compassionate Entrepreneurs were able to meet the Founders Holly, Gretchen, Elisabeth and Chelsie and hear about the artisans they are empowering out of poverty.

Friday was filled with great training sessions, surprises and dancing! Our Compassionate Entrepreneurs also got a first look at the NEW Spring 2018 Line.
